Kind gestures by strangers highlight some of the week's good-news stories:

Photo of McDonald's Worker Will Make Your Day: An older man in a wheelchair went to McDonald's and approached the registers asking for help eating. Much to a bystander's surprise, one cashier immediately closed his register and went to the man's table to lend a hand. It was "the kindest and most humble thing I had ever seen," says the woman who witnessed the act, and whose resulting photo went viral.

Homeless Family Finds Guardian Angel in Deputy: An Ohio woman and her young sons ended up sleeping for a night at the Butler County Sheriff's Office after being evicted and having no place to go. That's when a deputy stepped up with an incredibly generous move that resulted in food, clothing, and shelter—and help finding a permanent home.

Indiana Driver's Traffic Stop Selfie Resonates: When a black driver in Indiana was pulled over speeding by a white police officer, the story line didn't follow those of other high-profile stops in the news of late. In fact, the driver's selfie with the officer and his Facebook post about the "mutual display of respect" quickly went viral.

Tiny Baby Born at Sea Defies the Odds: Haiden Morgan came into this world way too early (by about four months), way too small (under 2 pounds), and in the wrong place (at sea on a cruise ship). He made it though, thanks to improvised medical care and a captain who raced toward the nearest port.

Postal Worker Saves UPS Guy From Dog Attack: The US Postal Service-UPS rivalry vanished in the face of a common enemy: an attacking and possibly rabid pit bull. Officials say that when a UPS driver in Chicago was attacked by the dog, a passing postal worker jumped in—and likely saved his life.
